Specification of Letters Patent No. 10,376, dated January 3, 1854.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. XANDER, of Hamburg, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement on Machines for Shelling Corn; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and-exact de' scription of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1, is a side view and Fig. 2, a top View of the machine and a perspective view of a double cylinder corresponding to the single cylinder in the model, which double cylinder are two single ones riveted together.

The machine is similar in most parts to other machines for shelling corn.

What I claim as my improvement is The oval cylinder A in Figs. 1 and 2 and the spring C, C, in Figs. 1 and 2.

The advantages of my invention are, that from the manner in which the spring C, O, is attached to the machine and the oval shape of the cylinder the" corn 'is 'm'ore The improvement on the cylinder disk,

that is, its oval shape, the spring being attached to the side, all as set forth. I

I would further state that by riveting two half cylinders together the cylinder may as readily be constructed double, as in Fig. No.

2. I do therefore 'not limit my claim merely to the single but also the double cylinder should I find it more practicable to construct them as in Fig. 2.
